After saying this, Li Wangyou's face turned dark.Is this Nima thanking herself or cursing herself?Is there anyone offering incense to the living?

In short, the chat room in the market is getting more and more crooked, and people have already started to discuss whether the Li family's ancestral grave is emitting green smoke, so Li Wangyou can only run away on horseback.

No matter which dynasty it is, no matter whether the time spans a thousand years or not, the Chinese people's ability to gossip is still so strong, it's impossible not to admire it.

However, as boring as Li Wangyou, I still feel a little happy in my heart. Hearing so many people praise themselves shows that they are still very discerning.

The only regret is that no one praised me for being handsome...

After finishing the purchase of ducks, Li Wangyou rode back to the village.He has to communicate this matter with the beautiful boss and Lao Cunzheng, otherwise thousands of ducks will be sent to the village in ten days, should he raise them himself?

096 Convincing Old Muramasa

After Li Wangyou thought that ducks could exterminate locusts, he forgot to explain to Su Changqing first, and hurried to the county to buy ducks.

After returning to Dingzhou Village, Li Wangyou hurriedly reported this matter to the beauty boss.The family's money is now in the hands of the beautiful boss. If Li Wangyou wants to spend money, he still has to inform Su Changqing first.

Regarding this, the old butler kept shaking his head and remained silent, thinking that Li Wangyou was too useless as the head of the family, how could he let a woman manage the family's assets?

Li Wangyou took it for granted, not to mention that the beautiful bosses of later generations dealt with projects with a contract value of hundreds of millions.Li Wangyou also thinks that this woman is in charge of the money. There is nothing wrong with it. Aren't all men in later generations like this?

What's more, the top students majoring in business administration at the University of Pennsylvania help him manage money, so why not worry?

Su Changqing was shocked when he heard that Li Wangyou was going to use more than 100 copper coins from his family to buy ducks.

But after listening to Li Wangyou's explanation, the beautiful boss immediately nodded, thinking that he did the right thing.

The so-called poor is to take care of oneself alone, and the rich is to help the world. Since the Li family has the ability to take care of the village, it is necessary to do so.

Li Wangyou was a little worried that the old village was not agreeing to stocking those thousands of ducks in the village's fields.

Guanzhong Road is mainly planted with wheat, which belongs to dry land. If thousands of ducks are to be raised in the fields, the farmers may not be willing.

Naturally, Li Wangyou couldn't tell Lao Cunzheng that ducks were raised to eat locusts.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty believed that the locusts were released by the locust god, how dare they kill them?

The worries of the two of them were not without reason.

Li Wangyou invited Lao Cunzheng to his home, and just as he proposed his idea, Lao Cunzheng shook his head non-stop.

"It's not right, Xiao Lang, it's not okay. It's okay if you raise a few ducks yourself, but how can you keep thousands of ducks in the fields in the village?"

"Old villager, don't worry, the duck will not eat the wheat seedlings, I can guarantee this. If the duck eats the crops in the field, I will compensate all the cost, absolutely." Li Wangyou continued to persuade Old Muramasa.

"Xiao Lang, what do you feed these thousands of ducks? How can there be so many things to feed the ducks during the spring plowing time when there is no harvest?"

"I have my own opinion on this. I will buy enough feed from the county seat. Laocunzheng doesn't need to worry about it." Li Wangyou said very easily.

In fact, he didn't plan to buy any feed to feed the ducks. He was simply planning to let the ducks catch locusts by themselves.

When the locust plague is together, the locusts will cover the sky and cover the sky. I am afraid that the ducks will not be able to eat them, so there is no need to worry about being hungry.

"That won't work. Thousands of ducks, who do you ask to raise them for you? During the busy season of spring plowing, even half a child has to go to work in the fields. Where can someone release ducks for you? Is it possible to let thousands of ducks go unattended? Running around in the fields of the whole village? That's okay. No, no, Xiao Lang, what you're doing is absurd."

Li Wangyou thought about it, what Lao Cunzheng said was also reasonable, it would be impossible to have thousands of ducks without someone to manage them, besides, there must be duck sheds and people who keep ducks.

Spring plowing is the first priority, and even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must pay attention to it. It is true that there is no manpower to help him raise the ducks.

This is not to transform the saline-alkali land, just recruit some strong men to be busy for a while.

He did rush this matter, but if it wasn't for the imminent threat of locusts, Li Wangyou wouldn't be so nervous.

The most painful thing is that he knows that ducks can kill locusts, but he can't use this reason to convince Lao Cunzheng, which makes Li Wangyou very depressed.

It's not easy to be Lei Feng of the Tang Dynasty!

In fact, the problem of duck sheds is easy to solve. I can set aside an acre of land from the saline-alkali land to build duck sheds, which is enough to accommodate three or four thousand ducks.

In ten days, the masons and carpenters in the village should be enough to help him build the duck shed.

The key is the manpower problem of raising ducks, which is the most critical.

If these thousands of ducks are to be used to exterminate locusts, they must be raised free-range. They are driven to the fields to eat during the day, and then driven back to the duck shed in the evening.There is indeed a lot of manpower needed. When the spring farming is busy, where can he find someone to release the ducks for him?

When he was worrying, Li Wangyou suddenly remembered Zhao Xiaoniang who sold him pigs before, and there were many girls of this age in the village.

For farmers, the busy farming is also done by men and boys. Girls like Zhao Xiaoniang don't seem to be busy with spring plowing.

Datang women don't have the habit of going out to work. Li Wangyou felt that if he could organize these girls in the village to help him release ducks, then the problem would be solved.

"Old villager, do you think this is okay? There are many unmarried girls like Zhao Xiaoniang in the village, why don't they let them help me release the ducks? I will pay the wages, um, how about three pennies a day?"

"What? Xiao Lang, how much money do you have? You give three pennies a day to a girl? Just help you release the ducks?" Lao Cun was startled by Li Wangyou's words and got up suddenly.

Li Wangyou was startled by the old man's action, what is this for?

"Old Muromasa, can you find someone to help? If you don't like it, you can talk about it."

But he didn't think about the farmers in Datang, who worked hard all year round, and their per capita income was actually less than consistent, which was about [-] Wen.

And Dingzhou Village couldn't even catch up with Datang's per capita standard, otherwise Yang Zhuan wouldn't have agreed to reduce some of the rent so readily.

He proposed to ask the girls in the village to help him put the ducks. Three Wen a day and more than 1000 Wen a year, which is equivalent to more copper coins. How could this not make the old village jump up in surprise.

Li Wangyou didn't feel that the price was too high, but felt that it was too low.

After all, in Chang'an City, it costs more than ten yuan per person to eat breakfast. It is really a bit embarrassing to ask someone to help you put the ducks for three yuan a day.

Lao Cun was panting heavily and staring at Li Wangyou, and asked after a while, "Xiao Lang, how many girls are you going to find to help you release the ducks?"

Li Wangyou estimated that after ten days, he would be able to buy at least 4000 ducks. It should be no problem for one person to put [-] ducks.

"Twenty people, it doesn't matter if there are more or less."

"That's sixty copper coins a day, Xiao Lang, you can think about it." Old Village is still trying to persuade, in his opinion, this is too prodigal.

"No problem, old village, you can help me contact, let them come to me in ten days."

Lao Cunzheng's lips trembled, and he didn't continue to object, so the matter of raising ducks in the village's fields was settled in this way.

He can't object, a girl helps put ducks for a day and gives three coins, who would not do this?

Li's Xiaolang also said that if the ducks damage the crops in the field, he will be responsible for the compensation, so he is not afraid that the farmers in the village will disagree.

Seeing that Li Wangyou insisted on this, Lao Cunzheng took his leave and left to help him find a suitable duck release candidate in the village.

After Lao Cunzheng left, Li Wangyou and Su Changqing looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. The labor cost of this Tang Dynasty is really low.
